Re: But what are the other tags on those fics?

True, but mistagging is kind of a separate problem from overtagging. If I see a fluff tag in a sea of tags that indicate non-fluff story elements, I will assume that they are all in the story - and thus, none of them accurately indicate the nature of the story at large, but merely scenes/content within the story.

Now, if someone tried to tag their story with fluff fic instead of just fluff as one of many content tags, then that's different - fluff fic implies super-happy story with limited complexity or character development, and to apply that to complicated story is less "covering all bases" and more "outright misleading, whether it's intended or not".

Definitely love how you made your point, though - for a second I thought I was reading Shakespearean quotes or something, which in itself is an example of why hardline descriptivism isn't the best way to go, either. Technically, Shakespearean English is just as Modern English as whatever we spew out on the Internet. But it's so different and difficult to understand that many people genuinely assume it's Middle or Old English, which are actually separate - if preceding - languages from Modern English.
